Writing Your Own Importer
You can write your own plug-in for CentraSite Control to incorporate your own importer. The prepared plug-in is a collection of files in a specific directory structure. After implementing the plug-in, the files must be copied into the CentraSite Control webapps folder under:
<RuntimeWebAppsDir>/PluggableUI/<MyPluginFolder>
The location of the <RuntimeWebAppsDir> folder is <RuntimeDir> /workspace/webapps.
The folder <MyPluginFolder> must contain the following files and folders:
Name of File or Folder | Description |
plugin.xml | Top plug-in description file |
*.html | Files generated for the GUI |
*_SWT.xml | Files generated for the GUI |
images | Directory for icons (GIF files) |
lib | Directory for JAR files provided by the plug-in |
accesspath | Directory created by HTML generation |
The ImportMyFile framework illustrates how an import plug-in may be set up. The example extends the import selection list and presents a screen that prompts for the file to be imported. After confirming the file, the appropriate adapter classes are called.
